Traffic news: Traffic slowing down as Rush Hour approaches

AS the pre-Bank Holiday rush hour approaches, traffic is starting to build up in the usual hotspots around Ashfield and Mansfield.

Traffic is slowing on the M1 between J28, A38 (Alfreton) and J29, A617 (Chesterfield), with the usual roadworks taking place.

There are hold ups at between Lichfield Lane Mansfield and Nottingham Road Mansfield. Robin Down Lane in Mansfield closed and there are delays between the Lichfield Lane junction and the A60 Nottingham Road junction, because of sewer works.
